Favorite Reptile Products You May Not Know Existed Plus Care Info. 

Watched Brian's video this morning and I dont think I ever felt so emotionally connected to someone I've never met , Brian is loved all around the world❤ I know kevin and Brian are friends and my heart goes out to everyone that its affecting which I'm sure is alot of people ❤❤❤❤

I so respect the honest positive video today!!!!! The reptile community needs your knowledge and energy!!! So proud of you for wanting to grow in new ways!!!!!!

Good to see some NERD content. I wasn't expecting the video I watched from Brian today. Makes a person think about what's important.

HAPPY NEW YEAR KEVIN! Today’s a tough day for us in the reptile community. Thanks for this video. I needed it. 💔

Can't thank you enough for talking about Reptile Basics. I went right to the link you entered and placed an order for the tortoise food and calcium supplement. He gets a weed/flower food now but this comes in larger packages and you made it sound delicious. Clyde, my Russian, thanks you in advance. And, no, I wasn't bored in this video for a second!

This actually made me a bit proud. I am a relatively new snake owner (about 1,5 years). I now have 2 BP in 2 enclosures. I use DHP and a diming thermostat to them both and have actually been doing that for a year. It is so much easier and safe with that thermostat and the heat is much more consistent. I use an ordinary LED bulb (no heat) as a daylight source and that is also connected to my thermostat which switches it on and off on a timer.

Much love and support Kevin!! It's always good to see you!! Best wishes to you and Nerd!! Happy New Years!!

I rescued a reptile this week, all down to Kevin and Brian I’ve a basic set up but been learning what is best for the animals. So this video is perfect timing for me 👌🏻

I could never get bored watching you no matter what you are talking about I love you all and thank you for all the videos that you do put out😊❤

This was a great video. Kevin definitely keep this up and possibly showcasing a product or more really helps us out who would like to follow you guys in the hobby keep up the great work with education and these videos. Thanks again bud!!!!!👌🏼👌🏼👍🏻🦎🐍🐢

Thanks Kevin! I appreciate learning about products with your seal of approval. Money is tight and it helps to have the benefit of your knowledge of products, rather than placing an order with a hope and prayer everything works out.

So glad to see you again. If you recommend a product it has to be top-notch. As usual, I learn something new from you. Keep your passion for for sharing your expertise.

After Brian’s video today, I really needed a dose of your energy. I know you’ll be having emotions over the next few days as we all are

The T5 shadedweller 8watt are very useful for ball pythons too! Arcadia is such a good brand indeed. Have you tried their Deep Heat Projectors? It heats differently than a regular ceramic heat bulb. Those who've used it immediately notice a difference in the behaviour of their snakes. Also, I knew about the importance of UVB but didn't know exactly about metabolic acidosis, learned something. Thanks for that

I love this, I work in electrical and sticking with 80% power usage is SOLID advice. Great video Kevin!

Thanks for the tip on the tortois food. I'm totally getting that for my uromastyx.

Happy New Year. Thank you for the information you provide.

That was a pretty informative video. I really like the explanation of how uva/uvb helps with calcium ect.

And nice to see some turtle-y products/info. Before all else, I’m a huge turtle nerd 😅 I try telling mine they need to make better food choices, and for the most part they do…until you walk out and see a Sulcata with a dead bird in its mouth 😳🫠

I'm also a huge fan of Arcadia, they really produce some high end stuff you can trust! So great to see a company who does that, so support them and buy their stuff, guys. :) Great video!

I'll save the commentary on Brian for if you decide to post about it. But I thought you were downsizing, seeing all the animals up for sale. Ngl, my friend and I stalk your website to look at all the pretty animals 😂 NORMALLY it's just window shopping buuuuut that's also how I got my beautiful NERD alumni, Otto Octavius II. No regrets, he's absolutely wonderful 🥰

Happy New Year Kevin & Co ❤so sorry to hear the news about Brian…..Great to see you back making vlogs xxxx

Started using exclusivly arcadia calcium a few months ago. I'm very happy with it. Includes bioavailable magnesium.

I could listen to you talk all day Kevin! It blows my mind with the amount of knowledge you have!

Hey Kevin what's your opinion on the new LumenIZE set from Arcadia, i wish i could find some in stock also lol

Also, having (teary eyed) watched Brian's last vlog, wishing you much strength and support, knowing he's a very good friend of yours.

I really love my Microclimate EVO Connected 3, 3 channels of control for heat (pulse, on/off dimming), light and mist. Great piece of kit with huge functionality

Thank you! I'm gonna try that Arcadia mix to supplement my Uros' diets. Can you possibly speak to enticing them to eat their greens more? Should I take their little seed and pellet dishes out? I should, shouldn't I?

Both thermostat and those ultra therm heat pads are bad ass I love these product and we love you Kevin

Nice to see the same product are in america as in europe a lote of the new stuff are upgrades from the older versions. Serra hase some nice products to not sure if you can find them in the states.

I thank you for the information. Currently I don't have any but I had several corn snakes, and a Savannah monitor years ago. I love reptiles and I'm thinking about getting some dragons. This is great information. I'm in the rescue business myself. I work at a no kill shelter. We only have kennels for dogs. We are going to try to get a place for cats. I'm the only person that's not afraid of mice and snakes😂 and would definitely not be opposed to rescue reptiles. They're so beautiful and misunderstood. I live watching and learning more about them from you.

Hi, Thank you for the review, so glad everything is working as it should for you.

Happy New Year, Kev!!!

Love nerd videos the info and knowledge Kevin give is remarkable I feel Kevin doesn’t get the credit he deserves

The new Arcadia lighting is awesome. They have dimmable lighting that's like Bluetooth or something and it's app controlled.

Kevin! That sounds awesome! Best of luck to you with all of the upgrades and changes!

Who do you get your enclosures from? they look awesome.

Thanks for the great tips Kevin.

Hey Kev , have you looked into a solar system? It won’t cover 12k but it may lighten the load 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey Kevin, do you guys use deep heat projectors? Arcadia didn't have a 100watt but pangea does. I needed a good heating option for my blue tegu and started using deep heat projectors. One bulb is keeping a 6'x2'x2' enclosure heated with a 120 degree Hotspot on a slab of slate. I have a couple of t5s one is biodudes grow light and the other is arcadia's forest. I didn't want to get strong bulbs as I read that tegus with albinism are light sensitive. Still working on shade plants. She squashed my first run of plants. Haha. If you could provide insight into uvb dependent reptiles with albinism and how that may or may not work against them I'd be grateful.

Kevin, I have a uvb lamp in the animal plastics pvc enclosure. Is that helpful to my ball python? Thanks for your wisdom.

I really want to pick up some of your snakes it's just not a good time season wise. Come spring though as long as a few animals on my mental wish list are still or become available defiantly picking up a few.

I've been using the ProT5's for my painted agamas and plated lizards. Immediately saw a difference.

Kevin I love the tortoise food! Thank you! I really need care help. I adore my Sailfin but cannot get her to move on from superworms.

If you happen to have a deceased snake could you show us it's anatomy in a video? Like a disection and label/ show the organs? Because a lot of the diagrams are a touch confusing, and I'd like to see how they're layed out irl. If not, that's completely understandable, and I mean no disrespect. If you could link me some sites for that stuff it'd be super cool of you. 🤘🏻

Great video as always guys

What brand of temp gun do you use

I don't know why but I just feel like Kevin was maybe trying a little harder in this video than usual and maybe subconsciously was paying homage to Brian realizing such a vibrant voice is no longer with us. I appreciate this channel so much (except that donny guy whoever he is) and to get to hear Kevin talk about literally anything is such a treat.

arcadia has now dimmable , uvb lamp that u can control via bluetooth , set uvb rise and fall, that is good stuff

Thanks for the discount code .. finally set up a rodent pro account... Links to products? Interested in the thermostat...

Thanks for the class Mr. Kevin! Do you guys do tours by chance? And if so, would it be with you or one of your employees?

Wow I didnt realise you had two degrees Kevin. Very cool. Full of surprises. Bright cookie ❤

Have you considered solar power supplementation? I know NE isn't the sunniest place, but even a little power may help. I think there are still fed and state financing programs. Or tap into the MIT electrical engineering department. Maybe there's a grad student who would love to help you re-engineer your property to be more efficient and get a paper out of it. Think outside the box. Hang in there.

I love your final comment and totally agree. A lot of stuff stinks. Love your videos.

Thank you for coming back and making this video. We love you 💗

It's great to know what you personally like and more important use. Thanks also for all the information regarding the animals and how their system works.❤❤❤❤❤

Darn Kevin you are low key the smartest person alive. Your an expert in everything!

Donny did you know 😂😂 I love Kevin

I love the knowledge, thank u😁😁

Mr. Radio Shack. Much respect.

U guys should start a gofundme for your reptile conservation programs...u would be astounded by how many people around the world who would step forward and support that!!!!!!!

You should film your reptile builds. Pretty cool stuff

Random question: What pocket knife does Kevin carry? Looks like he's been carrying it for quite a while, and more importantly, using it!

You should invest in solar for the building!!

Damn, you know things are bad when even NERD is downsizing. I hope you're able to make all the changes you want!

I LOVE videos where Kevin not only reviews products, but shows us how they are meant to be used properly. That sort of information is really lacking for a lot of products.

I feel that on the electric bill, I thought mine was high .... mine ranges between $1500 & $2000 a month, your $12,000 one makes mine look small, but it is awful... especially since mine is at my house .... not a business... the rates are horrible

I'm excited to see what is coming next to NERD. I wish I was financially able to pick up one of the lovelies you are letting go with the downsizing.

Awesome 🎉❤and yeah tough day for You all and our community. Thank you for all you do!

I just seen Brian’s video 😢

kevin out here sounding like the mad doc he is XD

Have you ever thought about doing solar With $12000 electric bills that might be worth looking into

Love you kev!

i dont know if you do or have done this, but breeding your own food. i feel dumb saying im sure you have thought about it or done it in the past. but it would help your food bill.

Would the arcadia tort food also work for a Bearded Dragon?

Please everyone say a prayer for brian

Reptile basics is the best

How is Sylvester

I use one bulb for everything, the sun, love Florida 🤘😝🤘

Thank you so much Kevin. I really did not know about that device.

Thinking of you K. Huge hugs.

As one door closes anothet opens i thinl a door is about to open for kevin as brisn moves on to a better place a place with no more pain. I know kevin is friends with brian and cant be taking this well but brian would want us to celebrate his life not mourn it... Love nerd kevim and brian are both mentors of mine and im lucky enough to be a resident of new hampshire and live 45 minures from nerd .

you didn't turn your camera on?!

Can beardies eat the Arcadia Tortoise diet???

Engineers take that into account when setting ratings lmao so a thermostat rated for "1200w" probably has components rated for/can handle 1500w in reality 💯 (they *expect* ppl to push things right to the labeled "maximum" so they always lower the label rating or over Engineer the product)

I wish you guys could use wild mice. I could supply the all your snakes a plump meal.

You could cut expense by letting Donny go. He clearly doesn’t seem to be improving social media income. Someone competent without the attitude of a scorned housewife would be an improvement. 😊

get some solar panels to help with cost

120 degrees forca bearded dragon? 105 110 at most

😊

Bro please hire me.. lol. I'm tired of working with no passion.. I have 11 reptiles at home, decent experience.. Help! Lol😊

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

💚💜💜💜💜💚

Brian Going into hospice so that means he’s dying and I thought you would wanna know we’re gonna miss him even though I don’t on the snakes I loved watching his enthusiasm for the species is enthusiasm for all animals rest easy Brian Season, on the other side

No sound

You need a mic, I can bearly hear you you and I have my speakers turned all the way up.
